redirects for old urls? #217

Closed mjhoy closed 1 year ago

mjhoy commented 6 years ago

I am reading A History Of Haskell: Being Lazy With Class. There are several instances of URLs that point to 404s, all on haskell.org, that perhaps could be redirects.

haskell.org/humor (should be: https://wiki.haskell.org/Humor)
https://www.haskell.org/hat -> https://wiki.haskell.org/Hat
http://haskell.org/development/views.html -> ???

we can redirect views to the archive.org page: http://web.archive.org/web/20040107202217/http://haskell.org/development/views.html

@relrod can you add these redirects to the nix config?

relrod commented 6 years ago

@gbaz I feel weird about linking to an archive.org page. If that info is still relevant and useful, could we make a wiki page with it instead and point to that?

gbaz commented 6 years ago

It isn’t relevant in any current sense. It is of historic importance, and cited in some papers, etc. So it is if use to people researching past publications and research, and doesn’t appear to be published elsewhere...

relrod commented 6 years ago

I get that it's of historic importance. Just wondering if it would be worth making it into a wiki page with the same info (verbatim, save for changes needed to convert to wiki-markup) and linking to that instead. I guess the archive page is fine, it just makes me feel a bit weird.

relrod commented 6 years ago

In any case, I'll try to get these added soon.
